From sketch to hoodie: how a Soshi order gets made

What actually happens between typing an idea and opening a box. A plain look at the steps.

1. You describe it

It starts with a sentence. "A lavender hoodie with a tiny red phone on the chest" is enough. You can also upload a logo, a photo or a drawing.

2. Soshi designs it

Soshi turns your idea into a design on a real product, in the colors and sizes that product really comes in. The picture you see is the product we'll make, not a stock mockup.

TipWant a change? Just say it: "make the phone bigger" or "move it to the sleeve."

3. A maker makes it

When you order, your design goes to one of our making partners. Depending on the product it's printed, embroidered or made by hand. Everything is made to order, after you pay.

Most items take about 1 to 2 weeks to make and ship. 3D prints take about 2 weeks. Checkout shows your estimate before you pay.

4. It ships to your door

You get an email with tracking when it ships. Right now Soshi ships to U.S. addresses.

“The first time you hold something you only described in a sentence is a little unreal.”
